There’s a shortage of affordable housing in the U.S. What can we do about it? The answer seems obvious: Build more houses, fast.

Easier said than done. We fell behind on home-building after 2008 and never quite caught up. There’s a shortage of labor. Restrictive zoning and archaic codes make it slow, expensive, or even impossible in some places, to come out of the ground with new homes.
